Which do you use : Comer 1800 vs. Cool Lights 600

[Tim Kay]

Did a search and couldn't find a thread so I ask the question, what do you use out of these two for onboard lights ?

The coollights 600 seems like a better interview light which the 1800 seems more versatile. What are your thoughts ? If you couldn't only have one, which one would it be ?

I use the Comer 1800 and can't say enough good things about it. Never used the CL600 though so I can't speak for it

I have 4 of the CoolLights LED 600s and love them.

ETA, you aren't going to mount a Coollights LED600 on ANY camera. They are massive and heavy.

A 256 maybe.

Is a LED600 basically the same as litepanel 1x1 ?

I thought an LED600 was an onboard light

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

The coollights led600 is almost exactly the same size as the litepanels 1x1

Ah, I was completly off - its so much cheaper i though that it had to be smaller.

I own the 4x55 from CL, How is it blending the LED600 with this, will the temp be the same ?

Put a 1/4 minus green on it and the led comes in around 5200-5400k.

Add the included full CTO on and it comes in close to 3200k
